Our D.I.Y. enthusiasts from 5th and 6th class have been busy planning a few renovations to our school Aistear area. The children are going to be very busy over the next few weeks redesigning and painting some furniture for a special area for the infants to use during their Aistear sessions.

Today the team visited Sam Sunderland’s to buy the paint for their project. The children have put a lot of work into the redesign and planning… And they were especially good at negotiating a good deal on the paint supplies! Well done all!

The team listen to some expert advice before making their final decisions.

Our basketball club has been up and running for the last few months in preparation for the Cumann na mBunscol Basketball leagues.

Kilberry welcomed Moone N.S. on Thursday last. Both our girls’ and boys’ basketball teams played some excellent basketball and displayed great skill and determination. Although Moone were winners on the day, our boys’ and girls’ teams gained some valuable court experience as most of our players made their league debut! Well done everyone.

Thanks to our Parent’s Council for our lovely new set of basketballs which have been put to good use over the last few weeks!
